Rabbit Hash

The "boss" insisted on a ~$1MM pause.

I'm sure I read this in a dictionary somewhere under the entry "bully" or maybe it was "small man's syndrome". [emoji57]

Opponents have hinted at burning the houses of supporters now through social media. This is what ultimately happens when you have childish leadership. Streetcars will be rolling through our streets within months. I can not fathom why anyone who calls themselves anything other than a Cincinnati hater (let alone a lover of this fine city) would not be doing everything possible to promote and boast over this move into the future.

Totally agree with this but understand the pragmatism of why they did what they did. I have a contact. I'll see what I can dig up on plans.

Thanks, Jake. Great stuff!

Giddy.

I think that's way to early of a concern. I know Cincinnati's population is growing, albeit, slowly. And that OTR population is growing as well. Clearly rehabilitating buildings and blocks takes time, and of course money. That said, with the street car better connecting the city, and the GE center by the banks, one can only hope that more of these young professionals will take up residence in OTR who are employed by these companies. I think a major stigma is it's name though. Can't even begin to mention how many people who live in the suburbs still associate current day OTR with 2001 protests and riots/the most dangerous ghetto in all of north america OTR. So many people acknowledge that they hear about the change, and want to potentially visit and explore OTR. But say, they are simply to afraid to put there lives and there family lives in danger. Even my younger, yuppie friends. They love to party down in OTR and go to neons and Japps. But when it comes to living down there, they are just simply to afraid to rent an apartment there, and this is the term my friend used so please don't blame me for being the messenger, because of the "black ghetto gangstas" that sprawl the streets. Point is as bad as gentrification is, the white picket fence suburban people won't move down to OTR until it's completely rid of the, "black ghetto gangstas." And sadly gentrification is slowly but surely happening in OTR, regardless of the handful of affordable housing options that are being offered. Eventually it will be a predominantly white neighborhood, mostly consisting of young professionals and rich executives, and retirees. That's my 2 cents. OTR will be built out. Only because gentrification (getting rid of the black gangstas) will allow it so. Everyone I know loves OTR. They think it's incredibly beautiful, and there's nothing else like it Cincinnati, let alone North America. It's a throwback to the olden days of actual urban neighborhoods that still exist in small pockets like in New York and Chicago. People WANT to live down there. But people don't want to live down there with the black gangstas that loom washington park and hang around the vine street kroger. It sounds racist, but you know it's true. They want to surround themselves with people like themselves. And that's truly sad, but just how society functions. I'm sure there's a point woven into all of the "black ghetto gangstas" your were messengerizing. It exists. No doubt. But I think millennials are the generation that will finally leave all the BS behind.

Cranley's pause cost 5x as much. What's his point again?

Cleveland will need an enema after #BBN leaves. Those people are like a mindless cult.

LOL! I forgot all about that trick!

You beat me to it. I was thinking in the roundabout too.

Something I've wondered as I watch GE and the other phase being built is about elevators. On the residential, they cast in place the elevator shafts. On the GE building, I didn't notice that they had done this. Why the difference, and how will they construct the elevator shafts in the GE building?

Yes!

Yep. CinDay is more than 2.7m by our definitions.

Omg that's awesome!

Stunning.

Actually the place down at Rookwood looks more like CS. HQ. I take this back. I see the resemblance now.

Rabbit Hash's hometown looks fab!

Wouldn't a simple traffic study reveal that and scuttle the idea? This new i71 would be a horrible idea. Any chance that the Ludlow Bromley crossing cold be resurrected?

Crescentville and Fields-Ertel Roads are real picnics.

Heating that in the winter will be a hefty bill.

Or maybe there is a chance for something multi-modal.

What happens when Madtree and Angry Orchard merge? Pissed off nature.

Who owns the 4th and Plum lot?
